What do you mean cooked rice?
For better richer taste & results you should let the almond/rice/water mixture set in the fridge covered for at least 8hrs. Other than that this is a good basic quick Horchata recipe.
Surprised at how good this was.. The traditional way takes a little too long (gotta let the rice soak in water overnight). This recipe is a keeper :-)
Can you replace agave nectar for Sugar?
What do they mean by "Cooked Rice"? Do you have to actually cook it (boiling until soft) or can you use the rice out of the bag?
